Perfect for you if...

You love historical fiction with a comedic edge and unreliable narrators who make you laugh despite their self-delusion.
You enjoy Flashman novels or similar roguish adventure stories where the protagonist is flawed but utterly compelling.
You appreciate witty, absurdist humour wrapped in period detail rather than laugh-out-loud comedy.

Maybe not for you if...

You want gritty realism about the Napoleonic wars and find whimsy in historical fiction irritating.
You prefer tight, modern prose and find Victorian storytelling styles tedious or overwrought.
You need your heroes to be genuinely competent rather than lucky bluffers who bumble upwards.
